Sanguina- I'm sorry to say but Wicca as a religion isn't just the teachings/whatever of Gardner. There are different sects if you will of Wicca, all with different guidelines/rituals/whatever.
And then there is solitary wicca which is and individual practicing on their own and following what feels right for them.

WICCA IS NOT SET IN STONE

Neo-Wicca is not original Wicca, rather a newer concept of the religion founded on certain principles of original Wicca.

Neo-Wicca is "neopaganism" while original Wicca's more like "mesopagan." They're both not old-school, but original Wicca's got more backing.

Eclectic Neo-Wiccans are not original Wiccans. It's like saying Brujas and Brujos are Mambos and Houngans: Brujeria and Voudou can be compared, and are similar in many fashions... but they're not the same thing.

Even modern-day usage of Brujeria and Voudou have taken new fashions. The original "Wicca" refers to British Traditional Wicca, which is straight off of Gardner's and/or Sander's teachings.

Neo-Wicca pulls from a lot of other teachings as well as Traditional Wicca.

I use Wicca as an umbrella term, I'm aware of the difference and complexities of it.

The only thing i disagree with in the second post on the fist page is that Wiccan religion is only 60 years old. My friend and I have books from ancestors written long, long before that. They were Wiccan spellbooks and diaries. I have emerald earrings passed down the family from a couple hundred years ago. But i do agree with most everything else.

Anyway, one of the "misinformation" bits I hear all over the place is the "dark=evil" spiel.

Darkness isn't evil, nor malevolent. Light isn't good, nor benevolent. Too much light can blind the same way darkness can.

That's just a tendency of humanity. People fear what they don't know and darkness makes it harder to see the things around you. If they can't identify something easily, most people will either ignore it or run from it. Personally I like the dark.
